If (3pi)/4,sqrt(2cotalpha+1/(sin^2alpha)...

If `(3pi)/4,sqrt(2cotalpha+1/(sin^2alpha))` is equal to `1+cotalpha` (b) `-1-cotalpha` `1-cotalpha` (d) `-1+cotalpha`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`sqrt(2cotalpha+1/sin^2alpha)`
`=sqrt(2cotalpha+cosec^2alpha)`
`=sqrt(2cotalpha+cot^2alpha+1)`
`=sqrt((1+cotalpha)^2)`
`=|1+cotalpha|`
As `(3pi)/4 lt alpha lt pi`, `cotalpha` will be negative.
`:.|1+cotalpha| = -1-cot alpha`
So, optopon -`(b)` is the correct option.
